    If you think biting will stop someone whose got you locked in an armbar, kimura or just a fully applied submission in general then why don't you go to a BBJ gym and ask them test it out while you bite them? Say good bye to your limbs though bro.

    Who would possibly know. I'd bet tho that multiple would beat him and it's far from impossible that some we would not even think of could turn the trick.

    Proper Streetfighters, Tough, Determined, Strong, Fit, Ruthless and who, in some cases, are Excellent Fighters/Boxers are pretty hard to beat and I would beat many of them against some Top Boxers.

    However some Top Boxers, were also Proper Street Fighters, so there you have the Deadly Combination of Skills & Athleticism, plus all of the attributes of a Proper Street Fighter.

    I believe Tyson was one of them and I think very few would get the better of him... but there are a lot of True Hardmen out there, so the old adage, "never underestimate your opponent" applies, or you can't ever rule some of these guys out.

    Who was that London, Armanian Hardman who supposedly battered Ortez on a London street - that type of Streetfighter.

    the Best Streetfighter I ever knew was a 5'10" lean & typical boxers build guy, who could fight like a King and he beat everybody he ever faced, no matter what size they were, or whatever reputation they came with.

    He would have made a Great Welter cum Middleweight.

    My post wasn't quite 1000% serious bro. Im a judo brown belt myself bro from 1 of europes best and oldest clubs here in South London.

    Your post misses the point....with biting, hair pulling,eye gouging,a hard concrete and uneven floor,other people getting involved bbj isn't the super power many mma fans think.

    A lot of times those things would stop your "fully applied" locks from even coming close to happening.

    We can agree to disagree

    I agree that things like biting and gouging can stop submissions from being applied, but if they are already applied then doing stuff like that won't help and will only result in your limbs getting snapped.

    The St Louis police department of the 1950's would agree with you

    Joe Frazier, Vitali Klitschko, George Foreman, Ike Ibeabuchi , Oliver McCall, David Tua, Jack Johnson.

    I haven't heard of them, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had a few rumbles outside the ring.

    When he was in the army, he got into a fight with a military policeman, who racially abused him.

    I guess that he picked the wrong target!

    Shavers's chin ain't gonna hold up any better in the street than it would in the ring against Tyson

    Another person that people like to hate in boxing but realistically beats most boxers in a street fight is Jarrell Miller
